Covering the Sky: Fishing for the Supreme Bone, making Ji Ziyue drool!

Sigh, forget it, I shouldn't expect something that doesn't even exist.

"Hahaha! Brother Lin is truly an interesting person. If you have the chance in the future, you must visit my Jiang family. I will personally host a welcome dinner for you."

Jiang Yifei said.

"Next time definitely!"

Lin Chen nodded and made a cooing sound.

Immediately, he looked at Yao Xi.

"I'm very curious, what exactly happened that would cause the Holy Maiden of the Yao Guang Holy Land to be hunted down by the knights and elders of the Yao Guang Holy Land?"

"How dare you ask! Isn't it all because of you? If you hadn't said those things, why would I, a perfectly good Holy Maiden, have defected from the Yao Guang Holy Land? Let's get this straight, you have to take responsibility for me!"

Yao Xi said, "She is charming and alluring, yet also has a touch of girlish coquettishness."

Upon hearing this, Ji Ziyue, Qin Yao, Yan Ruyu, and Jiang Yifei all changed their expressions and looked at Lin Chen strangely.

This is what I said...

That seems to have a deeper meaning!

Shocking! The Holy Maiden defected from the Holy Land overnight, all for a man!

Such an exaggerated headline involuntarily popped into their minds.

Is this the legendary elopement?

Oh my God!

So exciting!

"Brother Lin, you're amazing!"

Jiang Yifei gave a thumbs up.

"He actually deserted the sacred land for a man! They say lovers are brainless, and it's true!"

Yan Ruyu nodded, feeling that she had seen through the truth.

To betray the Holy Land for that scumbag Lin Chen, isn't that just brainless?

Even if it meant death, Yan Ruyu would never do such a thing!

"Lin Chen, shouldn't you give me a proper explanation?"

"Was it something they colluded with after the Yuankuang incident?"

Ji Ziyue and Qin Yao approached from either side, their expressions questioning.

Lin Chen looked completely innocent.

I didn't do anything myself.

He only stole half of Yao Xi's primordial spirit and a great holy weapon; he didn't really do anything to her!

Can't this woman be more clear-headed? It's easy for people to misunderstand her like this!

As for why she defected from the Yao Guang Holy Land, Lin Chen had already guessed most of it.

It's most likely that this woman discovered the existence of the ruthless lineage, which is why she did this.

In the original storyline, Yao Xi fled the Yao Guang Holy Land because of this and then lived in seclusion in the Nanling Mountains.

Lin Chen's reminder only brought this matter to happen sooner.

"Alright, stop fooling around, we're talking serious stuff. If you keep fooling around, I'll use you two as practice targets."

"Come on then, if you dare!"

Ji Ziyue said.

Chapter 154 The Ruthless Lineage! The Inheritance of Yao Guang!

"Alright, enough joking around, or the little princess of the Ji family might fight me to the death."

Yao Xi smiled slightly and then began to explain.

From her, everyone quickly learned about the existence of the Ruthless Clan and the relationship between the Yao Guang Holy Land and the Ruthless Clan.

"The Ruthless Lineage, could it be that the most ruthless person in history, the one who created the Devouring Heaven Demon Art?"

Ji Ziyue asked.

"It is that person, but I don't know the exact extent of their connection. I only know that this lineage possesses the legacy of that ruthless person and is very powerful. The Yao Guang Holy Land is secretly controlled by them, and their foundation is not much weaker than that of a true emperor."

Yao Xi said.

"Doesn't that mean that the successor of that ruthless person is in the Yao Guang Holy Land? Could it be... the Holy Son of Yao Guang?!"

Yan Ruyu asked.

“That’s right, he must have cultivated the Devouring Heaven Demon Art, but he usually hides it very well, and even I didn’t notice it. After Brother Lin reminded me, I thought about it carefully and found some clues.”

Yao Xi nodded, still feeling a bit scared even now.

If she continues to be kept in the dark like this, she will most likely become nourishment for the Holy Son of Yao Guang and be devoured by the Devouring Heaven Demon Art.

"The Devouring Heaven Demon Art is an affront to the natural order. The emergence of a ruthless successor should be condemned by all under heaven. It's just unexpected that such a person exists right among us."

Jiang Yifei said that this was exactly the reaction a normal person should have.

This whole self-deprecating act would have fooled Lin Chen if he hadn't read the script.

However, Lin Chen did not intend to expose him, now that the Yao Guang Holy Land had revealed its true colors.

If he could, Lin Chen would love to destroy this holy land outright.

"If this news gets out, will it allow the major powers of the Eastern Wilderness to join forces to besiege the Yao Guang Holy Land?"

Lin Chen asked.

Jiang Yifei shook his head.

"It's difficult. If there were solid evidence, it would be easier to talk about, but it's just Fairy Yao's one-sided statement. The Holy Lords of each family won't easily believe it. Moreover, the Yao Guang Holy Land has an Imperial Weapon guarding it. Unless we can confirm the existence of the Ruthless Lineage behind them, even my Jiang family is unwilling to easily offend a Holy Land guarded by an Imperial Weapon."

This is reality, the deterrent power of imperial weapons.

It was only because the ruthless man's legacy was too evil and feared by the world that it was possible for the various forces in the Eastern Wilderness to join forces after it was truly exposed.

Lin Chen thought it was a pity, but he had expected it and was not too disappointed.

We must proceed slowly regarding the matter of the Yao Guang Holy Land; there's no need to rush.

"I wonder, what are your plans after Fairy Yao?"

Lin Chen asked again, feeling that Yao Xi might go to Nanling to live in seclusion, just like in the original story.

The demons of Nanling run rampant, making it difficult for the Holy Land of Yaoguang to reach them.

"Why are you acting so concerned about me? Before you say that, could you please return half of my primordial spirit?"

Yao Xi said.

Half of her primordial spirit is still in Lin Chen's hands, and it's unknown whether it has been damaged or not.

"I stole it with my own abilities, why should I give it back to you?"

Lin Chen said confidently.

Yao Xi clenched her fists, really wanting to punch this guy, but unfortunately she couldn't beat him.

At this moment, Jiang Yifei interjected.

"The Holy Land of Yaoguang wants to kill Fairy Yao. Although the Northern Region is vast, it seems that only the Ji family can protect Fairy Yao."

"I don't..."

Yao Xi instinctively wanted to refuse.

Who wants to go to the Ji family?

No dogs go!

But then he thought, having the Ji family protect him was practically the same as having Lin Chen work for him for free.

It seems... pretty good?

Half of his primordial spirit and the Moon Palace are now all in Lin Chen's hands.

If Yao Xi were to just leave like this, it would be a huge loss!

Then I'll reluctantly go to the Ji family for a while, and once I get my primordial spirit and the Moon Palace back, I'll run away again.

Yao Xi was thinking this, but to her surprise, Lin Chen pursed his lips the next moment.

"Forget it, I think the Jiang family is not bad either, why don't you go there?"

"Hey, what's with that disgusted look on your face?! I'm the Holy Maiden of Yao Guang, aren't you even a little bit tempted?"

"Swept my ass! You're no longer the Holy Maiden, just a traitor to the Yao Guang Holy Land. If you come, you'll just be another mouth to feed. What if you eat me out of house and home?"

"So who is responsible for this?!"
